Inter Miami Sack Phil Neville After 10 Defeats From 13 MLS Games

Inter Miami have sacked Phil Neville after a run of 10 defeats in 13 MLS games has seen them drop to the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

The 1-0 loss at home to the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday was their 10th in their last 13 league games.

Neville, 46, joined Inter in January 2021 and helped the club reach the MLS Cup playoffs in 2022.

Fans have been vocal about their discontent with Neville’s management this season, and they even booed his son when he came on as a late substitute on Wednesday.

The axe has finally fallen, and the club, which was founded in 2021 and is backed by David Beckham, is looking for a new head coach.

“Sometimes in this game we have to make the toughest decisions,” Beckham said in a statement.

“Sadly we feel the time is right to make a change. I want to personally thank Phil for his hard work, his passion for our club and for his integrity as a person.
“He and his family embraced Miami and he has devoted himself to the drive to bring success to the city and to our fans.
“Phil has made a real contribution to the culture of our club with his qualities as a leader and knowledge as a coach.”

Neville added: “I would like to thank the ownership group for their trust and making me a part of this project, the players and staff for their impressive commitment, dedication and hard work and the fans for their unwavering support for the club since day one.

“I’m grateful to have played a part in the growth of this club and wish Inter Miami CF all the best in the future.”
